  1. Ahhhhhhhhhh so good! I love everything about this; it couldn't have been more delicious even if it were covered in syrup.

  2. This is one of the best Covereds ever. Both the original and the Covered are great. Plus that "Extra! Robin" thing is totally bizarre.

  5. This remake is great. Also haven't appreciated Neal Adams work as much as I should.

  7. I really can't stand the more literal takes on covers. Something like this is what this blog is all about. Do something original and fresh with the cover or don't do it at all. Kudos to Alec Jones!!!

  8. Agreed! (with the earlier comments) Alec's style is really neat and lends it self to a an original re-interpretation of the work. I think its real good lookin'
